Chico, California, got its name from the Spanish word "chico," meaning "little." The area was originally inhabited by the Mechoopda tribe, and when European settlers arrived in the mid-19th century, they adopted this name. The town was officially founded in 1872, and the name reflects both the local geography and the influence of Spanish language and culture in the region.
